Ah what sweet nerdy bliss. My first PHPcon was quite an experience. It’s quite a moment in your life when you meet many major players in your industry and see the faces behind what you’ve been plugging away at for 10 years.

This game deserves two reviews. Reason 1: it’s awesome. Reason 2: it’s vast. So my first 2 or three hours of gameplay I’ll review here. After a few more days I’ll come back and most assuredly rave some more. Let’s begin…. Read more »

There are not excuses anymore, if you’re going to spend $50M on a title, do it right or get out of the game. Read more »

This is a very well done game, immensely satisfying on many levels. Very cinematic, perhaps not as well as Metal Gear Solid, but nonetheless exceptional. The constant action is very absorbing, and the advancement ladder is very well done. Read more »
